I am currently using Cellex-c SPF 15 sunscreen and need to purchase more. Any recommendations?
Should I be using a higher SPF? Is sunscreen the first or last product to be applied to the face? Does sunscreen need to be worn at home? |

Well I think the higher the SPF the better if you're outside quite often because it blocks more of the damaging UV rays, but I am speaking with the Australian sun in mind.
In fact there are ads on the radio here saying that sunscreen alone is not enough to prevent skin cancer - you have to cover up!  sorry for the side track...
I guess if you're only inside at home and don't go outside at all then you don't need it at home, but for things like hanging washing or gardening definately put it on.
I usually put sunblock on last over my face products, then use some powder to soak up that oiliness. I have just started using invisible zinc facial lotion as a sunscreen, which seems to be working well so far but isn't my holy grail of sunscreens - still looking for that! |

| Remergent SPF15 or SPF30. Sunscreen is always last and you should wear it every day. |

| I've used elemis wrinkle control sunscreen spf 25 europe (30 usa) but usually add Jane Iredale pressed minerals on top for a bit extra protection. Yes, I'm very pale skinned and burn easily. I'd love to find a completely natural sun screen but any I've tried seem to slide off the skin as so greasy. elemis is the closest I've found but any suggestions would be great. |

| I think you need higher if you are prone to hyperpigmentation/freckles. I like physical sunscreens myself. Dr. Lewinn's is very protective (19% zinc). I just started using the Becca SPF 30 primer (17% zinc) and this stuff is so nice. There is a review of this product on the forum if you are interested! |

| I only use the highest SPF rate sunscreen like 50+ or so. Is that enough? I've never tried those sunblocks with wrinkles elimination features. Does it really help? |

I tried Z.Bigatti's Silk Screen SPF 30 recently.
The result is satisfactory. Although it has high SPF, it can be absorbed by skin quickly. |

I wear high PPD sunscreens which offer the highest UVA protection. Thus, this steers me to La Roche-Posay and Bioderma; I like both equally.
Sunscreen goes on last, and, yes, you should be wearing it indoors, since you cannot hide from UVA rays. |

I'm not sure if u can use La Roche Posay with MMU or not? |

You can either try the overseas site, tubotica.com OR purchase from overseas ebay sellers, both of whom have access to fresh products. |

Hi Stovetop-
First of all, you should be using an SPF of at least 17 on your face. Anything below that is not protecting you skin. Sunscreen should be applied after all of your serums, eye gels and moisturizers. It should be the last product that is applied to your face. It is important to wear sunscreen even if you are not directly in touch with the suns rays - computer screens and television also does damage to your skin. I just started using Vichy's SPF50 for my face. It feels great on my skin and I feel like I am really being effective in my aging prevention. |
